A leading developer of polymer based technology is seeking a Post Doc Researcher for their site in Cambridgeshire.
JOB PURPOSE
To seek out start-ups for potential investment or collaboration. These cover a diverse range of technology areas such as energy materials, materials for electronic devices and systems and materials for healthcare and food production. The purpose of this role is to evaluate these potential technologies, predominantly through practical experimentation, using applied material science.
MAIN ACTIVITIES
• Evaluate potential partners of interest to the company and evaluate their technology.
• Design and propose experiments, to evaluate promising materials in the proposed applications.
• Completion of practical experimentation to characterise both material performance for the desired application with lab-based measurements and specialist tools where appropriate.
• Development of novel evaluation techniques for materials.
• Fabricate test structures to evaluate the material of interest
• Construct theoretical models in order to build a thorough understanding of the fundamental mechanisms underpinning the operation and performance of materials in the desired application
• Carry out or oversee experiments at partner organisations where in house evaluation is not possible.
• Rigorous analysis of experimental results to draw conclusions and propose directions for further development or collaboration.
• Clearly report findings and formulate recommendations either within or outside the organisation.
• Take active part in ideation events to develop new project ideas aligned with market needs, sustainability goals, business alignment and novel material ideas.
• Contribution to maintenance of a tidy and well-functioning laboratory environment for all laboratory users. Perform functional duties as required.
KNOWLEDGE/EXPERIENCE/SKILLS REQUIRED
• PhD, or degree with equivalent research experience, in an applied physical science, materials science or a related discipline.
• Excellent academic credentials are essential and relevant Post-Doctoral research experience in materials or applied physics is desirable.
• Experience in one or more of these areas: electronic materials and devices, material science, energy materials, functional materials.
• Experience in broad-based research focussed on developing and demonstrating materials for new technology applications is highly desirable.
• Experience of developing testing procedures, including writing experimental and data acquisition control programmes for new devices is highly desirable.
• Experience of incorporating materials into prototype device structures to demonstrate desired functional properties is highly desirable.
• Experience of identifying and developing theoretical models and implementing them alongside experimental work is desirable.
